According to Eveline Tan, DPM, "the feet can be an indicator of overall general health. A lot of times, it's something nobody looks at, especially when you go to your primary care physician. A lot of things go undetected. The foot is probably the most unrecognized part of our body."

"If you look at a callus, it's something as simple as an overgrowth of skin that actually tells you a lot - that there's an inbalance in your foot, whether it be a biomechanical imbalance or a structural imbalance. A lot of times, people say that their foot is dry, but it's actually not dry skin; it's an underlying skin disease. They look at their nails and don't realize it could be a sign of an underlying pulmonary disease," says Dr. Tan.
